Longines Cal 433 "Ultra-Chron" Automatic Works "Weirding Out"

[mattlikesvintagewatches]

Hello watch people,

 

I just got this cool little watch for my birthday and just finished putting it back together. But when I finished the automatic rotor it "wouldn't stay put". Every time I wind it, its almost like it undoes the wind that I put into it. Like I'll wind it but then the automatic rotor starts spinning once I'm done. Theres also a noticeable clicking noise that it makes when it spins clockwise, but it disappears when I spin it counter-clockwise. My big overall question is: should it be doing this? Any input is appreciated. I tried to attach videos but the file type isn't allowed, so here's some photos for reference. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These photos are just trying to prove my point without the use of a video. As you can see from the pictures, I'm not touching the rotor with the stick, it spinning the opposite direction from which I just spun it. It may also be good ton know that in these pictures it's spinning clockwise, after I've just spun it some degrees counter-clockwise. That's why I feel that it's "undoing" any sort of input from gravity or whatever. In other words, I don't know if the automatic works is even functioning. Should it be doing this? How do I fix it if it shouldn't be? Anything helps.

 

Thank you.

Does this movement have reverser wheels? If so, is it possible to install them the wrong way round? Or maybe they are broken. When you turn the weight, can you see that it's winding the mainspring?

Yes, it does have a reversing wheel. And I've checked in both directions, and it is turning the ratchet wheel. Hope this helps.

What You describe and show doesn't seem right and the most probable reason is reverse wheel problem

Even if the reverser wheel(s) are not working properly, the click should stop the mainspring from driving back and turning the weight.
